Unscripted™ Entrepreneurship:A Business That Pays More Than Money, It Pays Time.

"Fastlane" is an entrepreneur discussion forum based on The Unscripted Entrepreneurial Framework (TUNEF) outlined in the two best-selling books by MJ DeMarco (The Millionaire Fastlane and UNSCRIPTED™). From multimillionaires to digital nomads, the forum features real entrepreneurs creating real businesses.

I have started reading unscripted and i realized while reading the book that while I sometimes feel im not making any progress in life I have made a few great accomplishments one of them being breaking my computer gaming habit.

I havent touched a computer game since March this year!

I was big time computer gamer using games as an escape for my shity life for 12 years.
I was depressed had no social life and pretty much no hobbys or fun things exept games.

While iv been working on my life for the last two years I dident stop gaming compleetly till march this year.
What finerly worked for me was a techniek i got from Tony Robins book the giant within;

What you do is think of pain and the major drawbacks of the habbit you want to stop everytime you think about it
and for habits you want to create you link pleasure and the advantiges of doing that habit.

In my case it was linking the depression to PC games and reminding my self what i want to accomplish (wont happen wasting time with games)

*update just read the bit in unscripted where MJ talks about breaking habits (starts on page 276) There is some good stuff there if your having problems breaking your habits!

I still do a little bit of everything. I think of it as a cheat meal/day. I still consume sugar, play league of legends, and enjoy alcohol every now and then. But understand I limit and control myself.

Had never heard from HALT, thank you for sharing that. Porn is no longer an issue - it’s sugar and sweets. Do you have any advice on how to stop or give sugar intake?

*Easy* make sure you throw away all sugar in your house then make sure it stays out.

If you can do this you wont have to fight temptation 24/7 but only in the suppermarket and when you are vistiting friends/family.
Tell your friends/family you are on a diet so they can hold you accontible and dont tempt you.

Thank you for this thread!
I'm blown away by the honesty in this forum! Big thanks to all who contributed!
It made me think hard about what addictions/bad habits I currently have. Never done gaming, drugs, coffee, tried alcohol and porn but could't get anything out of it. Had an almost sugar free diet for the past like 10yrs ... (sounds unreal, doesn't it?!?!)

So my big ones would be wasting time watching way too many YouTube videos that are none educational and not doing sports right now. As well as staying up until past midnight (mostly because I am working on my fast lane project...) yet I have to get up at 6am...

Two of these I try to limit through setting an alarm, the third one is a biggy to tackle right now.

I was a really heavy smoker from 17 to 32. Have gone back to it twice for a few months. I can recommend Allen Carr's easy way to quit smoking book.

Apart from that I would say my attitude towards eating healthy in the last 4 years has improved dramatically. I can't remember the last time I thought it was a good and tasty idea to buy a can of coke lol. Grosses me out so much now.
